William Hill Boast “Nothing Beats William Hill when it comes to betting on football”
This I suppose can be taken in different contexts and being a devout cynic of bookmakers in general I tend to be suspicious when they offer such low odds (4.33) on such a preposterous bet – England to concede to the Ukraine – never have I heard such a thing.!!! but this is what you are betting on in effect.
Let’s have a look at the stats for the first of these games today
Czech Republic v Denmark
In their 4 previous games, Czech Republic has kept 2 clean sheets against Scotland and Netherlands winning both games 2-0. Denmark has on the other hand only 1 clean sheet. The Czech Republic has scored 5 goals in the tournament so far. Patrik Schik has 4 of these goals for the Czech Republic and could well be worth a punt at the Golden Boot. Denmark and Spain have scored the most goals this competition with 9 to their name in the normal 90 minutes of a game so this part of the bet may well see each team scoring in 90 minutes (BTTS odds with WH are 2.05! 2.14 are available on SBK (Smarkets Sportsbook))
Ukraine V England Kickoff at 8pm tonight and William Hill are offering odds of 2.25 for BTTS making a BTTS double 4.61!!! This is bigger than their boosted bet – Is it any wonder bookies are not trusted pillars of the community!!
England go into this game with a 100% clean sheet record and while 2-0 has been Englands biggest tally of goals in a game this bet is all about keeping the ball out of the net as far as William Hill are concerned. Ukraine have conceded goals in each of their Euro games and failing to score once against Austria.
In my humble opinion 3 out of these 4 teams will score but duty binds me not to bet on The Ukraine shattering England’s Clean sheet record but If you were to back this a BTTS double pays more than the boosted bet, and they are the same bet!!
Good Luck in what you decide.
